<p>Yes, the list is still active (although people are not using
it). </p>
<p>Chris' message was rejected automatically because he emailed you
as well, rather than just emailing the list. It's a spam filter to
avoid circular emails.</p>
<p>Larry Gilbert used to keep Heliconius (H. sara) flying around in
a lab with no natural light, just mercury vapour tubes. The
plants don't grow well in there. These days there are very good
grow lights with the right spectrum for plants so you could do
that more easily, I think.<br>
</p>
<p>Best wishes, Jim<br>

All,

</div>
<div class="">I don’t know if this mailing list is still active.
However, if it is I have a question. Does anyone have
experience of raising
<i class="">Heliconius</i> inside, i.e. maintaining a stock
population with only artificial light? Is it possible, or even
worth trying. </div>
